Enjoyed. Those JD 720's were fine machines...............

If there is a bar named "The Other Bar", I suppose there is one named "The Bar"?

your pics are always great as usual soapweed.for me your pictures always bring back ol' memories---whether good or bad---I especially liked the tractors in the parade.my dad lost his arm in a corn picker mounted on a m farmall.the kill switch down by his feet saved his life.i spent hours of my young life, helping my father with one arm,farm on a 720 john deere.i can recall getting home from school,,,then running my first tractor into the late night hours.i was very young...as we got older,,,,he had fenders put on.no radios for us then...Thanks for sharing again,,,
